Lecture

Concrete Dams: Design and Construction

Description

This lecture covers the design and construction of concrete dams, focusing on different types such as gravity dams and buttress dams. It discusses key aspects like dam heightening, foundation stability, and stress analysis near the foundation. The lecture also explores the optimization of dam structures to ensure safety against overturning and sliding, as well as the impact of temperature on dam behavior. Various case studies from around the world, including examples from Morocco, Switzerland, and Brazil, are presented to illustrate the theoretical concepts.
